Health is a state of complete harmony of the
body, mind and spirit.
When one is free from physical disabilities and mental distractions,
the gates of the soul open.
~B.K.S. Iyengar

How did your city do? Not looking too good here in sunny SD. Whew! Are you the anomaly? Rock on! Being the example is a unique path to take, for your family and loved ones, for those who think that they can't but really can, for your circle of influence.

If not, take notice. Take a few of your own measurements. Whether it be on a scale, blood work, tape measure, body composition. Own it.

Then make a conscious choice, are you good, maybe just looking for a tweak her or there, could you use a little kick in the pants or do you need some serious guidance. Everyone will have different interests, tastes and goals. Find the ones that make you smile, give you a reason to get it done.

You should be the one, the individual, the one with the control, who is healthy and happy. Wherever you reside, keep it real, keep it simple, stay aware, take care of yourself.

If you are going to be a statistic, at least be a good one! ~j
